FARMINGTON — Farmington preliminary results indicated a split ticket for the two District 2 state representative seats, newly modified to only include Farmington, with incumbent Joe Pitre, a Republican, and Democrat Rachel Burke in the lead.

Late Tuesday night, results showed Pitre with 1,310 votes and Burke with 1,349. Democrat candidate Richard Stanley, who said he was running jointly with Burke, received 1,213 votes and Republican newcomer Antonio “Tony” Luciani had 1,105.

Pitre, who serves on the Farmington School Board, previously told Foster's he lobbied to get Farmington its own district. He currently serves on the Farmington School Board and said on election night he was grateful for all the votes received.

“I'd like to thank the people for electing me,” he said. “It's an honor to serve.”

Burke, 71, previously told Foster's she would like to focus on bettering the future of Farmington “for the kids.” She served on the local education committee for two terms and served as chairman in Laconia in the 1980s. She also previously served as a state representative.

Luciani, with a background in the automotive industry, said he considered himself to be extremely conservative on fiscal issues and largely conservative on social issues as well. Stanley, 31, said he was previously running to improve the economy of Farmington and the state. He hoped he and Burke would make a good team.
